The Spirit of the Lord Songtext
von Marty Goetz

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
For the Lord has anointed me
Yes the Lord has anointed me

He sent me to preach good news to the poor
And to bind up the broken in heart
To proclaim His freedom to all who are bound
All who are bound

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
For the Lord has anointed me
Yes the Lord has anointed me

He sent me to preach the year of His grace
And that vengeance belongs to our God
And to comfort all those who mourn and who grieve
All those who grieve


To give them beauty for ashes, for mourning the oil of joy
And for the spirit of sorrow the garment of praise
And they will be called the trees of righteousness
Planted by God′s own hand that He may be glorified

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
And my soul will exult in my God
For the Lord has anointed me
Yes the Lord has anointed me

He sent me to preach good news to the poor
And to bind up the broken in heart
To proclaim His freedom to all who are bound
All who are bound

And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord
And my soul shall exult in my God
For He's clothed me with garments of His salvation
He′s wrapped me with robes of His righteousness

Yes upon me is the Spirit of the Lord
Upon me is the Spirit of the Lord
He's anointed me with the Spirit of the Lord
